hi buddy i did the paint job  ;)

bobafett:
Nice job  :daumenhoch:
What did you use ? Is it a rattle can jobby or do you have access to a proper spray facility ? Looks like a nice flat finish in the pics  ;)

dix:
hey buddy yeh well first off i tried plastic coat

was ok but diddnt think it was quite good enough :P

so i got a hammerite electrostatic spray gun and used hammerite white high gloss smooth finish
and i was amazed really  ;)

problem is its 39.99 and replacement cans are 14.99

i was sceptical because im a painter my rep tried selling me one 6 months ago and i said fook off

but its prity good  8)

I saw that hammerite gun on the gadget show - so it really does work then ? I was going down the plasticoat route myself on a goose frame i've got but i dunno now  :uglystupid2:
So did you have to strip off the plasticoat you started off with or did you just leave it as a basecoat ? And how flat is the finnish 'cos it looks sweeeet in the pics - nice job fella  ;)
